BMI Calculator

Is your weight in a healthy range?

READER'S COMMENT:
"5 ft 7 inches and only 115 I'd say you were underweight...that sounds way too skinny for 5-7. I'm 5'6" and weigh just under 140 and I'm a size 2 or 4... "

Most experts determine healthy weight ranges with a calculation that takes both weight and height into account to give you a single number called a Body Mass Index (BMI) value. Knowing your waist size is also helpful, since studies show that people who have more fat around their abdomens have greater risks of heart disease and diabetes. If your waist size is over 40 inches (men) or 35 inches (women), your risks of developing health problems are increased, and losing some weight might help bring your numbers into a healthier range.
